So happy to watch your new video ! I finally made a one piece lidded jar! ❤ I also love the texture on your handles.

[@AlchemyCeramic]

Nice to hear from you Rebecca😊 Great news! You made ONE PIECE! I hope it was a fun! The handle texture is my standard one. Maybe I demonstrated in the Jug video.

I should drink more loose leaf tea, and this is a great idea. I wonder how to make the hole not too big and accounting for shrinkage so that the leaves stay in the strainer - yours are perfect. :)

[@AlchemyCeramic]

Thank you for your question 😊 My tea leave is large so 5 mm drill bit is fine. So how about starting from 4 mm drill bit. You need to check the hole after the glazing. Please make sure the holes are not filled.

Lovely idea! I would love to have one or make one.

[@AlchemyCeramic]

Thank you for your comment 😊. Please try to make this. Super useful mug.

[@lindatortorice9356]

Thank you for showing the finished pieces. Lovely. Are the white spaces glazed? If so, how did you glaze those spaces?

[@AlchemyCeramic]

Thank you for your question Linda😊. The white spaces are unglazed. If I want to glaze these parts I will use spray glaze.

Thank you for the video, I started pottery recently and this is very inspiring. What's the round metal tool that you're using at 9:30? I've been having problems with my pots jumping around when trimming

[@AlchemyCeramic]

Thank you for your comment Oliver😊. It is a trimming spinner. it is made by two discs and a bearing between. When I trim many pots I need this to save my finger. You can purchase on line and very reasonable price.

[@stephenyoung6635]

Thank you for sharing! How many grams of clay do you use for the strainer?

[@AlchemyCeramic]

Thank you for your question Stephen😊. I forgot to mention in the video! It was 200g.
